The Day Roy Orbison Died (CHORDS) by The Marys
[Verse 1]~
G
I came home early one fine Wednesday morning
Em
Something was waiting for me
C
There without warning,, something had happened
G D
I couldn't believe my eyes
[Verse 2]~
G
I turned the knob and the front door swung open
Em
The closets were empty,, our picture was broken
C
Either you'd packed up and left
G
Or we'd been burglarized
[Chorus]~
D Am C D
Oo-ooh,, that doesn't matter to me
Am C D
That's just a bad memory,, woah-oh
Am C
The day that you picked to leave
D G
Was the day Roy Orbison died
[Verse 3]~
G
I don't think some things you ever get used to
Em
I don't think some things you're really supposed to
C
I see your face every time
G D
That I turn out the light
[Verse 4]~
G
But the song that was playing the first time I kissed you
Em
Is the song that is playing tonight when I miss you
C
I don't think some things
G
Are ever supposed to seem right
[Chorus]~
D Am C D
Oo-ooh,, that doesn't matter to me
Am C D
That's just a bad memory,, woah-oh
Am C
The day that you picked to leave
D G
Was the day Roy Orbison died
[Verse 5]~
G
My sister only had three 45 records
Em
And she used to play them over and over
C
Until she had every note
G D
Every word memorized
[Verse 6]~
G
And every time I hear "Only the Lonely"
Em
And every time I hear "Oh Pretty Woman"
C
Or "Crying"
G
I feel like he's still alive
[Chorus]~
D Am C D
Oo-ooh,, that doesn't matter to me
Am C D
That's just a bad memory,, woah-oh
